Monax Mining Limited announced the results of its maiden diamond drilling program at its Western Queen gold project in WA. Best results from the program include: 3.3m at 7.98 g/t Au from 271m downhole in MXDD003; 4m at 2.7 g/t Au from 291m downhole in MXDD004; 3m at 2.59 g/t Au from 216m downhole in MXDD001; 2m at 2.87 g/t Au from 258m downhole in MXDD002. The company has received the results of the five diamond drill holes MXDD001-005 drilled at the Western Queen South mine, testing the main zone below the existing pit. The holes were designed to provide sufficient drill coverage of the deposit to estimate a resource for the project. The southernmost hole MXDD003 intersected 3.3m at 7.98g/t confirming the continuity of high grade mineralisation for at least 60m past the previous drilling. The high grade zone remains open and is untested beyond that intersection. The confirmation of the continuity of the mineralisation and the fact that the high grade zone is open and untested 60 metres beyond the previous drilling, has given company the confidence to complete a Resource Estimate for the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of January 2018.
